A Cyprus Villa in Limassol can be found in many locations to suit personal tastes, a Cyprus geographical map shows the district accounts for about 15 of the island and is dominated by the backdrop of the Troodos Mountains and aside from the actual town, the area is predominantly mountainous. There is a 15km coastline along which there are many 5 star hotels, apartment complexes and prestigious Cyprus property for sale. These have become even more desirable since the signing of the contracts this year for the new 1,000 birth marina sited right in the heart of the city.
Another great plus for a Cyprus villa in Limassol, which a Cyprus geographical map confirms is that it is right in the middle of the island’s southern coastline, just a 45 minute drive from either of the airports in Larnaca and Paphos. You can also travel by sea, either by your own boat to one of the marinas or the main port which is one of the Mediterranean’s busiest for both commercial and cruise ships. All these options make for easy and varied access and an ideal place to buy Cyprus property for sale.

A Cyprus villa in Limassol can be in the midst of the islands second largest city, busy as a commercial centre in its own right where the residents have the reputation of loving fun which is reflected in its cosmopolitan atmosphere. The nightlife is renowned and there are many tavernas and restaurants as well as nightclubs. There is also great shopping, which will hit another level when the new shopping mall is finished, it will be the islands largest – four times as big as the one in Nicosia! This is scheduled for completion in 2008.
That is the urban picture for a Cyprus villa in Limassol, the complete alternative is just a stones throw away. Head out of the city and into the mountains and there is a whole different world. The foothills have beautiful scenery, through vineyards and wine producing villages that still have sea views. Keep on going and there are numerous sleepy little villages to discover just off the main roads along rough tracks. A Cyprus geographical map will help to find these and also the dams which have been established to catch the waters (and snow in winter) running off the mountains, the largest is at Germasogeia, which is a popular fishing spot for trout and other species.
The two largest festivals of Cyprus take place in Limassol, the pre Lent Carnival and the September Wine Festival. The ancient theatre at Kourion is often used for dramatic and musical productions and there are many other archaeological sites to be found. All the usual water sports are available on the coast as well as mountain pursuits such as hiking, rambling, horse riding, cycling, angling, bird watching, botany and in the winter – skiing and snow boarding!
A Cyprus Villa in Limassol and Cyprus property for sale can be found in whichever place you feel happiest – urban or country, coastal or inland and the great thing is that both are really close to each other and of course the Cyprus weather means you can actually enjoy all the activities or just sit and watch!
